The Gift

Oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 18 x 24 x 2 1/4 inches.  (The painting continues on the sides of the canvas.)  This is a scene from our farm in central Texas.  The sun was rising, and casting a golden glow on everything.  Mist was rising from the pond which was still in the shadow of the distant trees.  What a beautiful morning my dad and I witnessed from the hilltop!  I still miss him terribly, even though he moved to heaven over 8 months ago.  I've painted many paintings en plein air at the farm and from photos I have taken there.  It's a place of inspiration for me.

A Eureka Moment

SOLD  Oil on canvas, 12 x 12 x 1 1/2 inch gallery wrapped canvas.  (The painting continues around onto the sides of the canvas.)  We have lots of ruby throated hummingbirds right now.  I think it's migration season.  I took pictures of many of them and of my hanging baskets and put pictures together for this painting.  I am donating it to the auction at the Museum of East Texas fundraiser, Dinner and Dancing, which is this weekend.

Solitude

Solitude, oil on canvas,  20x24 inches.  This is a spring-fed pond on my son's property in East Texas.  I painted this from a photo I took when I visited him last fall.  It's a peaceful place in the country.  This painting is presently displayed in the annual Angelina College Faculty Exhibition through the end of September.
